What the hell is wrong with me?

[TheATMMachine]

I've actually spent my evening watching the Hornets @ the Bobcats! What a bunch of damn scrubs!:WTF:

 

[lander]

I just finished reading SportingNews' blurb on the Hornets being the worst team in the past 5 years. I feel for you sir.

 

[TheGeneral+]

That is bad ATM.

Get ahold of yourself Sir.

 

[Noreaga+]

how can they be called the worst team? that is so dead wrong.

They are missing Davis, Magloire, and Mashburn. I think they are a amn good team when everyone gets back.

 

[lander]

I thought Mashburn was injured into retirement?

Anyhow, I'm not sure if he meant their current starting 5 or the team in general. It was only a one sentence rambling.

 

[Noreaga+]

I didnt hear that about mash.. not sure

 

[TheATMMachine]

This little point guard for the Hornets is good he plays like Steve Nash.I think he was the guy that played so well for Gonzaga a couple yrs ago

 

[Noreaga+]

dickau ? i was suprised they got so little for armstrong i always liked him when i saw him in orlando

 

[lander]

FWIW, it appears to be only speculation about his retirement, but this year is finished for Monster Mash.

If anyone was the total package coming into the NBA, it was Jamal Mashburn.

</TD><TD width=15> </TD></TR><TR><TD width=180>Jamal Mashburn parts ways with Hornets coach Byron Scott after talking about his latest setback.(AP)</TD><TD width=15> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>At 6-feet-8, 250 pounds, he came into the NBA in 1993 as the fourth pick overall by the Dallas Mavericks following his junior year, when he was a first-team All-American for Rick Pitino at Kentucky. He could shoot from anywhere on the court, back down any small forward, handle the ball like a guard and grab eight rebounds a game.


Eleven years later, the numbers have come and gone, and evidently, so has Mashburn.

Monday afternoon, Mashburn sat at a New Orleans Hornets press conference with general manager Allan Bristow and coach Byron Scott, men he's unlikely to play for again in the wake of the latest issue with his right knee. They declared him out for this season and quite possibly for his career.

 

[Noreaga+]

im sure by the grin on his face he is heartbroken about sitting at home and collecting that fat check

 

[Journeyman]

Mashburn is an overrated turd...when hasn't he been hurt? Two good years tops...

And look at what the computer kicked out as 'similar players'

Take out Reggie and you got a bunch of gunners who never win:hump:

 

[Noreaga+]

two good years? he had 7 seasons where he averaged over 20 points and 5 rebounds a game

 

[lander]

I always though Mash was a very good player, but had an unfortunate string of injuries. Could happen to anyone.

 

[TheATMMachine]

yeah,Dickau is his name.He looks like a player!

 

[Journeyman]

He shot 41% played no defense, and was always hurt...I was being kind when I said two good years...

Do you seriously think Mash's career was a success, considering when he came out he was plastered all over the place as a future NBA great?

He appeared to have his game back when he came down with that freak illness that he almost died from never was the same after that...

 

[Noreaga+]

is Allen Iverson a good player ? how many good seasons has he had ?

 

[royalfan]

he won an mvp, i would say he is pretty good.
